The University of Georgia men’s and women’s tennis teams will host NCAA tournament first and second round matches this weekend at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. The announcement came Monday evening during the 2023 NCAA Selection Show.
Georgia’s women’s team, which earned the No. 4 overall seed, welcomes Florida State, Illinois and Florida A&M. The action starts at 10 a.m. Friday, with the FSU versus Illinois matchup. Georgia will play Florida A&M at 1 p.m. Friday.
Men’s action begins Saturday when NC State faces Oklahoma at 10 a.m. before Georgia — the No. 6 overall seed — goes against Florida Gulf Coast at 1 p.m.
The women’s second-round contest is at 4 p.m. Saturday, while the men’s second-round match will take place Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Georgia women — which won the 2023 SEC tournament title — receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the 36th-straight year with an all-time tournament record of 89-33. The 2023 season marks the 12th consecutive year the Bulldogs have earned a host position for the first and second rounds of the tournament. The Georgia women have two NCAA titles (1994 and 2000), while a Bulldog has won the NCAA singles championship three times (1984 Lisa Spain, 1994 Angela Lettiere, and 2010 Chelsey Gullickson).
The Bulldog men — champions of the SEC with an undefeated regular season conference record — are making their 39th-straight and 44th overall NCAA appearance. Georgia’s men have won six NCAA National Championships (1985, 1987, 1999, 2001, 2007 and 2008), while a Bulldog has won the NCAA Singles Championship four times (Mikael Pernfors in 1984 and 1985; Matias Boeker in 2001 and 2002). The Bulldogs have claimed the doubles title on three occasions - Ola Malmqvist and Allen Miller in 1983, Boeker and Travis Parrott, and John Isner and Antonio Ruiz in 2005.
